jis jagah aagahi muqayyad hai

jis jagah āgahī muqayyad hai

us jagah zindagī muqayyad hai

bujh rahe haiñ gulāb se chehre

kyā yahāñ tāzgī muqayyad hai

chāñd jis kā tavāf kartā thā

ab vahāñ ḳhaak sī muqayyad hai

ek arzī liye maiñ hāzir huuñ

munsifā raushnī muqayyad hai

ḳhāk-e-karbal meñ aaj bhī logo

ik ajab tishnagī muqayyad hai

kachche ghar ke nasīb meñ 'bābar'

jā-ba-jā ḳhastagī muqayyad hai

jis jagah aagahi muqayyad hai

us jagah zindagi muqayyad hai

bujh rahe hain gulab se chehre

kya yahan tazgi muqayyad hai

chand jis ka tawaf karta tha

ab wahan KHak si muqayyad hai

ek arzi liye main hazir hun

munsifa raushni muqayyad hai

KHak-e-karbal mein aaj bhi logo

ek ajab tishnagi muqayyad hai

kachche ghar ke nasib mein 'babar'

ja-ba-ja KHastagi muqayyad hai
